Create ActiveX checkbox in specific cell - excel

Question

In my Sheet 1, Column A has some values and I need to create a Active X checkbox for all the values in Sheet 2 in a specific cell. First I need to check whether Active X checkbox is there for the value or not, If its not there, I need to create. I already tried the below code, But its creating the duplicate checkboxes.
Sub Addcheckbox()
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
Dim rr As Integer
Dim tf As Boolean
Dim shpTemp As Shape
Set rng = Range("A1:A8")
Set Destrng = Range("A2:A9")
rr = 2
For Each cell In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A8")
If Not IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then
With ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1", _
Left:=51.75, Top:=183, Width:=120, Height:=19.5)
.Object.Caption = cell.Value
End With
End If
rr = rr + 1
Next cell
End Sub
How to check whether ActiveX checkbox already present in the sheet or not with Caption name
i tried this code for checking the checkboxes.. But its not working..
Function shapeExists(ByRef shapename As String) As Boolean
shapeExists = False
Dim sh As Shape
For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If sh.name = shapename Then
shapeExists = True
Exit Function
End If
Next sh
End Function

ActiveX Checkboxes are OleObjects. Is this what you are trying?
Also you need to specify the correct .Top else they will be created at the same place. See how I used Top:=cell.Top
Sub Sample()
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
Dim rr As Integer
Dim tf As Boolean
Dim shpTemp As Shape
Set rng = Range("A1:A8")
Set Destrng = Range("A2:A9")
rr = 2
For Each cell In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A8")
If Not IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then
If Not CBExists(cell.Value) Then '<~~ Check if the checkbox exists
With ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1", _
Left:=51.75, Top:=cell.Top, Width:=120, Height:=19.5)
.Object.Caption = cell.Value
End With
End If
End If
rr = rr + 1
Next cell
End Sub
'~~> Function to check if the checkbox exists
Function CBExists(s As String) As Boolean
Dim oleObj As OLEObject
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects.Count
If s = Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects(i).Object.Caption Then
CBExists = True
Exit Function
End If
Next i
End Function
